Abstract
Leopold Bloom walked fast to the post office and there he got a letter from his confidential penpal. He used a false name "Henry Flower" to her and enjoyed this secret correspondence. Bloom, the frustrated cuckold, was bawdy but he loved his wife best. Before reading this letter, he happened to meet one of his friends, M'Coy, who was very proud of his wife and said that she had made a contract with a small concert agent as a singer, and here Bloom necessarily defended his wife, Madam Marion, from him because she was a well-known opera singer in the city Dublin. As there was plenty of time before Dignam's funeral, Bloom listened to a church mass for a while and enjoyed a bath. In front of Dignam's house the carriages started for the cemetery: Bloom, sitting with three other persons in one of the carriages, felt that he was looked down on by them as he was a Jew. During the ceremony, he was suffering, thinking of his personal and social situation at persent. However, at the end he found a person to whom he could hold his head high. In the events that these two episodes present, we can trace the active conscious and unconscious processes of Leopold Bloom's mind.
